Barona Casino is 18+. It does not serve alcohol. Unless you ate at the Italian restaurant and must consume all before you leave.
We parked at the South entrance which is an outdoor lot with shuttle (golf cart) service or you can proceed to park in the five level parking structure and enter the North entrance.
By far this is my favorite SD casino. Super clean air, because there's no alcohol, people are sober and alert. The casino floor, especially the slots were packed. So lively!
They were voted the loosest slots in town and I witnessed that to be true on multiple occasions. After midnight, it was hard to find an empty seat.
They had one crap table and it's the longest I've ever seen. My dices kept on spinning. Next to it was an electronic crap table which was normal size. It's all California crap/roulette with the cards.
Minimum was $10 but will go up as it gets busy and on holidays. You can always call before you come ask what's the current buy in.
I didn't see any sports booking area but saw a huge chipless electronic machine area to play all your card games.
They got rid of the buffet during pandemic. There's a cafe, Italian restaurant, VIP dining area and the food court.
We got coffee from Barona Cafe. They asked if you want ice, hot, or blended. I got blended Coffee Toffee whip cream.
The food court has bánh mì, soup, Chinese, churros, hot dogs, burgers, pizzas, Mexican, pretty much every cuisine.
We ordered from Three Amigos World Famous Tacos for $2 each. I have to say, they're not World Famous for nothing! It was yummy! We got carnitas, carne asada, and chicken.
Love this property but wish there was a mocktail bar or live music. They had a boom box cart that went around blasting music. Also a Free drink cart. There's also a hotel.
All the attendants were super friendly. The parking attendant would wave to you as you drove in the parking lot, at the escalator, outdoor entrance, indoor and you felt welcomed all around.
You can also tier match if you have a higher tier elsewhere.
